Remember how the religious right, for decades, has been warning that the slippery slope of sexuality, particularly gay marriage, would lead to things like the sexualization of children and polygamy?

Those were wild times when conservatives would warn about those sorts of things.

Now we just live with the reality of the things we were warned about.

Here's a piece from The New York Times that sums up our modern culture pretty well:

Yep. It was not only predictable but MANY on the religious right correctly predicted this from a long way off. It's been inevitable for decades now. The slippery slope is real.

Jace Knight had heard about Somerville, Mass., while working on a Ph.D. at the University of Alabama in 2020.

The small city had recently passed a law granting domestic partnership rights, like the ability to receive employment benefits or make hospital visits, to people in polyamorous relationships. Mx. Knight, who is nonbinary and has been nonmonogamous since 2014, was impressed.

So, this is a story about a non-binary nonmonogamous person going to Alabama who heard about a town in Massachusetts where they let you, essentially, marry as many people of whatever sex or non-sex as you like.

The story is to glamorize these cities that are COMPLETELY deconstructing and destroying the fabric of marriage and society.

"We're a very queer city," said Willie Burnley Jr., 29, a city councilor at-large who introduced the new ordinances and who is polyamorous. "We have a population that's more open to these ideas, and many of these folks are either currently nonmonogamous or have tried nonmonogamy or at the very least know someone who's polyamorous."

In case you've forgotten, Massachusetts was also the birthplace of same-sex unions leading to the overturn and redefinition of marriage in the United States.

Just in case you were looking for patterns.

Here's the flag you might see flying in Somerville. I didn't recognize it but it's the "polyamory" pride flag.

(There are just too many of these flags to keep up with.)

The story goes on to describe how society is normalizing "nonmonogamy" through TV programming and people like Jada Pinkett Smith. The whole idea is that this is all part of the new normal.

The Times discusses how these relationships are like spiderwebs with people being "related" to others because they are seeing someone who's seeing someone else and that someone else is also dating someone else and so on.

It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world.

Just like we've been warning about for years.
